I found a couple gsxr 750's in the 3800-4500 range too.
Yeah, Im only about 155-160lbs, so a 600 is perfect for my size as a starter. maybe evenutally over the years when I get bigger and more experiece I will probably move to a 750 or so.

Thats how I see it. The bike I got was from a guy in my old unit on Camp Lejeune, and it had been laid down before at 30 when a corrolla pulled out in front of him, but it was cosmetic only. I was just thinking that I will...not maybe...will lay it down sooner or later or something will happen to it. i dont wanna pay $10k for my brand new dream bike when I know it will fall. So why not just get a good starter bike for cheap, then when it falls, Im not as emotionally and financially attatched.
